I Protest

Time freezes the moment A child loses his father At the borders Is there any calming voice That can compensate his dad singing him lullabies Half-awoken in his strong arms Story time with him Beneath the snow moon All the stars enveloped by thundering clouds The moon vanished to nowhere Sudden black-out of his innocent desires The small demands and list of toys He had kept inside his maths notebook Is there any rainbow That can paint the gray skies That shrouds this tender life Who has not yet touched The age of teens Why so much tensions on the frontiers Of different countries Can the rivers and winds Change their nature of succouring life Floating through different countries I protest,I protest This war at borders Does any word hold the capability To be the bandage That can heal a family's lifelong bleeding scars 06/04/2019
